personal checks
Handwritten bank payments
Personal checks are checks drawn on an individual's bank account rather than a business or institutional account.
They authorize the bank to pay a specified amount to another party: She wrote a personal check for the deposit.
Once the standard way to pay bills and make purchases, personal checks have been largely displaced by electronic payments and debit cards.
